Sobre el álbum
"Highway to Hell" es el sexto álbum de estudio de la banda AC/DC, un trabajo lanzado al mercado el 27 de julio de 1979. Fue el quinto álbum de estudio de la banda lanzado internacionalmente y el sexto para ser lanzado en Australia. Fue el último álbum con el cantante Bon Scott, quien moriría de manera temprana a los 33 años el 19 de febrero de 1980.En 1978, AC/DC había lanzado ya cinco álbumes de estudio y un álbum en vivo, "If You Want Blood You've Got It", y habían realizado varias giras promocionales por Australia, Europa y Estados Unidos. Comenzaban a ser muy conocidos y el sello Atlantic empezaba a pensar en dar un salto de calidad con la banda.
Tras su paso por Estados Unidos la discográfica insistió en sustituir a George Young en la producción, con la intención de darle un sonido más reproducible en las emisoras de radio, lo que propiciase una mayor difusión. Tras las reticencias iniciales de los hermanos Young, finalmente decidieron probar a trabajar con el productor sudafricano Robert John "Mutt" Lange, quien acababa de conseguir el número uno en Reino Unido con "Rat Trap" de The Boomtown Rats.
La grabación comenzó en los estudios Roundhouse en Chalk Farm, al norte de Londres, en marzo de 1979, donde desarrollaron una intensa actividad durante tres meses para dar forma a este nuevo trabajo, con agotadoras sesiones de quince horas diarias para elaborar un exigente trabajo de estudio.
Las letras firmadas por Scott para "Highway to Hell" tratan casi exclusivamente de la lujuria ("Love Hungry Man", "Girls Got Rhythm"), el sexo ("Beating Around the Bush", "Touch Too Much", "Walk All Over You") y fiestas urbanas ("Get It Hot", "Shot Down in Flames").
"Highway to Hell" fue finalmente lanzado el 27 de julio de 1979 por Albert Productions, quien obtuvo la licencia del álbum a Atlantic Records para su lanzamiento fuera de Australia. Posteriomente fue reeditado por Epic Records en 2003 como parte de la serie AC/DC Remasters. El 25 de mayo de 2006, Highway to Hell fue certificado 7x Platinum por la RIAA.Los sencillos que se extrajeron de este álbum fueron "Highway to Hell" (27 de julio de 1979), "Girls Got Rhythm" (6 de noviembre de 1979) y "Touch Too Much".

Letra
I've been around the world I've seen a million girls Ain't one of them got What my lady she's got She steals the spotlight Knocks me off my feet She's enough to start a landslide Just a walkin' down the street Wearing dresses so tight And looking dynamite Enough to blow me out No doubt about it can't live without it [Chorus] The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) The girl's got rhythm She's like a lethal brand Too much for any man She gives me first degree She really satisfies me Love me till I'm [legless | limbless] Aching and sore Enough to stop a freight train Or start the Third World War You know I'm losin' sleep I'm in too deep Like a body needs blood No doubt about it can't live without it [Chorus] You know she moves like sin And when she lets me in It's like liquid love No doubt about it can't live without it The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) You know she really got the rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) Rock 'n' roll rhythm (rock n roll rhythm) The girl's got rhythm - Walk All Over You5:08

Outta my way I’m a running high Take a chance with me and ya give it a try Ain't no woman in the world I know Cause I ain't lookin' for an overflow Baby I ain't got much Resistance to your touch Take off your high heels and let down your hair Paradise ain't far from there I’m wanna walk all over you (walk all over you) I’m wanna walk all over you (walk all over you) Do anything you want me to (walk all over you) baby I’m wanna walk all over you Reflections on the bedroom wall And girl you thought you'd seen it all We're rising falling like at sea Your lookin' so good under me I’m gonna walk all over you (walk all over you) I’m gonna walk all over you (walk all over you) Do anything you want me to (walk all over you) to you I’m gonna walk all over You Moanin' groanin' stereo Said gimme the stage I’m gonna steal the show Leave on the lace and turn off the light Tonight is gonna be the night I’m gonna walk all over you (walk all over you) I’m gonna walk all over you (walk all over you) Do anything you want me to (walk all over you) I’m gonna walk all over You I’m gonna walk all over you - Touch Too Much4:24
It was one of those nights When you turned out the lights And everything comes into view She was taking her time I was losing my mind There was nothing that she wouldn't do It wasn't the first It wasn't the last She knew we was making love I was so satisfied Deep down inside Like a hand in a velvet glove [Chorus] Seems like a touch, a touch too much Seems like a touch, a touch too much Too much for my body, too much for my brain This kind of woman's gonna drive me insane She's got a touch, a touch too much She had the face of an angel Smiling with sin A body of Venus with arms Dealing with danger Stroking my skin Let the thunder and lightening start It wasn't the first It wasn't the last It wasn't that she didn't care She wanted it hard And wanted it fast She liked it done medium rare [Chorus] Seems like a touch, touch too much You know it's much too much, much too much I really want to feel your touch too much Girl you know you're getting me much too much Seems like a touch Just a dirty little touch I really need your touch Cause you're much too much too much [Chorus] - Beating Around the Bush3:55
Letra
Smiling face and loving eyes But you keep on telling me all those lies How do you expect me to believe Honey I ain't that naive Baby I got my eye on you But you do all the things that I want you to Stop your crying and dry your tears I ain't that wet behind the ears You can throw me left And you can throw me right The way we do this night Beating around the bush Wish I knew what's on your mind Why you're being so unkind? Remember those nights you spent alone Talking on the telephone? Thoughts of you go through my brain You told me that you felt the same You told me that you love me too (?) Tell me who would lie with you? I was talking birds [I was talking about birds] And you was talking bees [And you was talking about bees] And (he was down)(?) upon his knees Beating around the bush You're the meanest woman I've ever known Sticks and stones won't break my bones I know what you're looking for You ate your cake, you want some more I'm gonna give you just a one more chance Try to save our romance Done everything I'm gonna do [That's all I'm gonna do] The rest is up to you You can chew it up And you can spit it out Let it all hang out Beating around the bush Oh. Chew it up Spit it out Let it all hang out Beating around the bush - Shot Down in Flames3:21

Letra
Somewhere a clock strikes midnight And there's a full moon in the sky You hear a dog bark in the distance You hear someone's baby cry A rat runs down the alley And a chill runs down your spine Someone walks across your grave And you wish the sun would shine No one's gonna warn you And no one's gonna yell 'Attack' And you don't feel the steel Till it's hanging out your back [Chorus] I'm your Night Prowler, asleep in the day I'm your Night Prowler, get out of my way Look out for the Night Prowler, watch you tonight I'm the Night Prowler, when you turn out the light Too scared to turn your light out Cause there's something on your mind Was that a noise outside your window? What's that shadow on the blind? As you lie there naked Like a body in a tomb Suspended animation As I slip into your room [Chorus] [Chorus] I'm your night prowler, break down your door I'm your night prowler, crawling 'cross your floor I'm your night prowler, make a mess of you, yes I will Night prowler, and I am telling this to you There ain't nothing you can do
